چکیده

Within the next year the first GPRS wireless packet data networks will be operable in Europe. In this paper, we study the capacity of the GPRS air interface under various conditions. For the analysis of the underlying Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol and the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer a simulative approach using OPNET is applied. Performance results for the RLC/MAC protocol are given for different radio conditions and different traffic models. Capacity figures in terms of throughput for different model assumptions are compared. Also, we take a closer look at the link optimization by using the four different coding schemes for GPRS.

A Performance Evaluation of Internet Access via the General Packet Radio Service of GSM

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is currently being standardized by the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) to extend the services provided by the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). GPRS is dedicated to support packet-oriented traffic, e.g. Internet traffic. Packet oriented transmission is by nature better suited to convey bursty traffic, as it is generated ...

Modeling and Performance Evaluation of GPRS

This paper provides an accurate model of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). GPRS is modeled as a single server queue in a Markovian environment. The queueing performance of data packets is evaluated by matrix geometric methods. The arrival process is assumed to follow a two state Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP), and the service rate fluctuates based on voice loading. The analytica...

Simulation of General Packet Radio Service Network

In this paper, we describe an OPNET model of a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network. The model captures the signaling and transmission behavior of the GPRS network. We first introduce a GPRS network and describe the signaling and transmission procedures that will be modeled. In order to point out the simplifications made in the OPNET model, we then address the differences between the GPR...

Performance Analysis of the General Packet Radio Service

This paper presents an efficient and accurate analytical model for the radio interface of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) in a GSM network. The model is utilized for investigating how many packet data channels should be allocated for GPRS under a given amount of traffic in order to guarantee appropriate quality of service. The presented model constitutes a continuous-time Markov chain. ...
